It&#39;s strange that I think of something totally different to this when I picture South Africa, even though it shares so many similarities with Australia.<br />I had never seen the colourful streets before so now I have another reason to make sure I get there one day.Dean @ La Vida Globalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020214117722627029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-52409246586172303312016-05-01T09:30:36.760+10:002016-05-01T09:30:36.760+10:00If you are planning on going I would say do it soo...If you are planning on going I would say do it soon - within the next few years.

We had never been to South Africa before and by deciding not to do the major sites, in the limited time we had, I think we made the right choice. Instead we got a feel for the flavour of Capetown. I am sure we will go back one day and maybe tick-off a few of the tourists attractions then.<br />The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-19259009682581239762016-04-28T01:35:54.269+10:002016-04-28T01:35:54.269+10:00Too bad you had to miss those major sights, but th...Too bad you had to miss those major sights, but those colorful houses in Bo-Kaap were quite interesting.Carole Terwilliger Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421213159579496045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-90709021389882637742016-04-27T19:01:42.592+10:002016-04-27T19:01:42.592+10:006 years in Cape Town must have been wonderful.

Don&#39;t you love the light? It&#39;s so different to Australian light. You&#39;re right it is slightly exotic and mysterious and has an aura all of it&#39;s own.
